My mum has asked me to help design their new Kitchen, she's been dreaming about a new one for years but has a chronic illness so not up to doing it herself, my dad just doesn't care...
Their both late 60's so want a design that will work well the older they get (eye height cooker etc.) and both love cooking and food; lots of gadgets, implements etc!
The room is corner of the house, about 5 x 10 m, window on both exterior walls - one corner (next to main window) has the entrance to the cellar; made to look like part of the work surface, the lid lifts up and door opens to lead down to dodgy steps (to freezer, utilities etc), this takes a massive amount of space up but we can't see around it without moving the stairs to another room ££££!!! The room needs gutting and taking back to bare walls, I suspect everything needs re-doing.
We're thinking ikea probably.
Basically I'm after any advice, what do you like/dislike about your kitchen, mistakes, recommendations, regrets, zoning, design?!? Its already the hub of the home, I just want my mum to enjoy being in there again without bits of it falling off in her hand!
